Beşiktaş is in a transitional period. New coach Senol Gunes is trying to adopt his own style of play to the team, but the quality of the squad is not yet there for him to make real improvements. Right winger Rachid Ghezzal is still injured, centre-back Romain Saiss is back injured from the World Cup and defensive midfielder Josef is not in good shape. Meanwhile, 39-year-old Atiba Hutchinson is playing and the pace of the play has dropped considerably since he has been in the side. They drew 1-1 with Gaziantep at the weekend. They are looking forward to the transfer window, but one silver lining is the fact that scoring goals with Wout Weghorst and Cenk Tosun on the pitch is one of the few areas of the pitch which is not a concern.

Adana Demirspor is in a similar situation to Beşiktaş. Centre-back Artem Dzyuba and centre-back Yaroslav Rakitsyi joined the team at the start of the season but were unsuccessful and left the club. Therefore, there is a lack of quality in defence and in the striker. However, thanks to in-form players, especially Emre Akbaba, they continue to stay in the top half of the table. Emre Akbaba scored 2 goals while beating Karagumruk 2-1, and Younes Belhanda, who was suspended in this match, will also play against Beşiktaş.

Beşiktaş have scored at least 1 goal in the last 7 matches. Adana Demirspor failed to score in only 3 of the 17 games played this season. Beşiktaş is not in good shape, but they still have no problem in scoring goals. Adana Demirspor will also come to this away game to win the match. In these conditions, I predict that there will be many goals in the match.
